I know this is OT, but I think it may be of general interest.

And here's a more detailed article (http://www.nytimes.com/2008/01/27/arts/design/27kenn.html?pagewanted=2&_r=2&sq=capa&st=nyt&scp=1).

That's a great story.

It revises something I heard from a friend who used to work at Magnum. She saw negatives of what appeared to be several takes of 'the fallen soldier,' but it sounds like they were just multiple copy negs made from a vintage print.

That and other mysteries will be revealed soon enough.

Poor CNN - they're so behind the times...

Seems to be really old news, and in more ways than one. But then again, what's a week compared to more than sixty years? ;)

Shouldn't have trusted the media... And should've checked the forum first.
